Why is he behaving like this?

[PinotBlank]

My husband asked me for a divorce, which I was more than happy to agree to. We had a weekend booked with our 2 kids in a caravan and we decided to still go ahead as it's paid for now and the kids don't yet know about the divorce as he hasn't found somewhere to live yet.
We are here now and he keeps trying to kiss me, rub my shoulders and has told our youngest that the double bed is "for mummy and daddy".

I've no idea how to navigate this without it causing an issue that upsets the trip for the children.

He wants the divorce because we've grown apart, which is true. I've distanced myself from him because he makes me carry the full mental load and does literally nothing with the children. We've been married 10 years.

Just keep reminding yourself it is just this weekend. But also without need he wont move out.

He probably just wants sex.

Yeah, I was just coming to say the same.

OP, he just wants to get his leg over and he thinks you're available.

I think you might be right. Urgh, I did NOT want to deal with that this weekend. We haven't had sex for about a year!

In your shoes, I would be calm but clear:

"Please stop touching me. I am not interested in sex with you. If you can't control yourself, then we should end this holiday and go home."

Some men!! My ex was like that too after we were separated, told me there was no reason why we couldn’t still be having sex!! 🙄

What a joke! Who do they think they are at all?? Just want the best of both worlds.
Hes currently with the youngest at the evening entertainment and I'm with the eldest who's autistic and has medical issues and just didn't want to go. I'm dreading him coming back now 😞

I'd just tell him straight, I wouldn't let him bully me into any unwanted physical contact. If you don't want to do that, can you set up the kids in the big bed with you? Or yourself in a single bed?

Thatd what I'm going to try to do. Have an early night with one of the kids.
One of our issues to him was a lack of sex but he basically ignored me day to day but then complained I didn't want intimacy 🙄

I hope you have a peaceful night.

I managed to sleep in the double bed with the youngest, and he fell asleep on the sofa like he does at home 🙄
He's left me alone so far today so I'm hoping he's got the hint.

Great, glad you managed to have a good night.

Is he moving out soon? Does he have a place? It's not uncommon for men to say they want a divorce but then they drag their feet leaving when they realize how expensive it will be for them and how they're now going to have to wash their own dirty undies.

That's annoying OP as it puts you on edge. Hope the rest of the holiday goes OK and that he's realised that he can't have it all. It's also shit but mostly women see sex as an intimate and connecting act but men see it as functionsl. Someone here will most likely pull me up on this but I'm generalising.

He's moving to his sisters soon, as he has no job and cannot afford to pay rent anywhere.
We've no assets thankfully, so the divorce is straightforward.

Sounds like your life will be easier without that deadweight

I've just asked to make a single claim in the universal credit journal and he's seen it and is furious..
Happy to leave me £400 down but didn't want to have to do his own claim yet

They don't like not having all the choices.

Keep going @PinotBlank , you can do this
